Television can be educational and entertaining, but too much can reduce physical activity, reading, and social interaction. Reduce television time with these fun tips.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A pen and paper
Exercise
Board and card games
Books
A hobby
A phone
Audio books and music CDs (optional)

Step 1: Limit the time

Keep track of the amount of time you spend in front of the TV by tracking it on a sheet of paper, and then limit your television time.

Step 2: Turn it off

Turn off the television while eating meals and engage in conversation instead.

Tip: Remove televisions from bedrooms.

Step 3: Exercise

Engage in your favorite exercise, such as swimming, walking, or dancing.

Step 4: Play games

Play board or card games. Designate one weeknight as a game night for a fun-filled evening.

Step 5: Read a book

Read a book. Visit the library and find books that fit your interests.

Tip: Check your local library to see if they lend audio books or music CD's.

Step 6: Have a party

Host a party. Invite friends, family and neighbors. See if anyone shares an interest of yours and make plans to do it together.

Step 7: Spend time on a hobby

Join a group or take a class, such as drawing, photography, or playing a musical instrument.

Step 8: Call someone

Call a friend or family member you have not talked to in awhile.
